- want a more convenient way to name folders - i have a lot
- want threaded emails when viewing
- want a better compose mail interface than what I get with 'new'
- want a better directory for sending 'To:' -- e.g., a selection
	of all user names I have ever sent to, with some kind of
	interaction (auto-complete?)
- want a way to select a bunch of messages and say 'move them to this
	folder' -- but want to either type a name or something like
	this: select with left, click middle, move to folder name,
	click left-right (i.e. paste) -- in other words, the
	acme left+middle, move somewhere, left+right sequence so
	I can move messages
- want to be able to select a bunch of different messages, then
	forward them all
- want automated refiling rules -- I wonder, can I select a bunch of
	messages, say 'plumb', and run it through special
	mail-folder-plumber rules? Not sure.

So, to me, lots is missing, or I just don't know how to use it. But the 
foundation seems more solid.
